This may very well be the bribe of the century.

GlobalResearch| Instead of helping EU citizens suffering from years of austerity, poverty and misery, the EU oligarchs ruling in Brussels prefer to give EU cash on hand to Al Qaeda and ISIS Wahhabi terrorists.

Yesterday The Duran reported on EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini, issuing a warning that the fall of Aleppo will not end the war in Syria.

The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs was quoted by ITV during a conference in Rome saying…

“I’m convinced the fall of Aleppo will not end the war.”

The Times UK is now reporting that the EU is preparing a sinister offer to Assad, which will be the EU’s special way to “end the war” in Syria, while preserving the huge financial investment the EU globalists committed to funding and training jihadists to overthrow the Assad government.

The EU is reportedly planning to offer Damascus financial aid in exchange for allowing rebel forces stay in power in some regions of Syria. Brussels is no longer insisting on the retirement of Syrian President Bashar Assad, according to the Times.

The new proposals from the EU were voiced by its foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, at a meeting with opposition leaders two weeks ago, the British newspaper reported. They reflect developments on the ground, as the Syrian Army has scored several victories and is about to take complete control over Aleppo.

A source close to the western-backed Syrian opposition (aka Al Qaeda) told The Times…

“What Mogherini wanted to do was present an EU plan – this is how to solve the conflict.”

“There’s a transition, but the details are vague. In return, if all sides agree and everyone does what the EU says, there’s a huge pot of money.”

RT reports further…

“Political transition” is a term used by all foreign stakeholders in the Syrian conflict to describe an end to hostilities and the forming of a new system of governance in the country, though various parties have vastly different views on what that transition would look like.

The rebels have for years insisted that the transition must include the ousting of Bashar Assad, while their western backers have repeated the mantra “Assad must go.” But the latest European plan no longer mentions the president’s future, the report said.

Brussels now consents to Assad remaining head of the Syrian government, but wants a “devolution of power to Syria’s provinces, which would allow for ‘moderate rebel’ forces to be integrated into local security forces.”

The EU is willing to offer financial aid to both the Syrian government and the rebels to sweeten the deal, the Times said. The report suggested that paying Damascus is preferable to dealing with the continued exodus of Syrian refugees to the EU, which is “contributing to electoral chaos across the continent” and “destroying Europe’s political fabric.”

To summarize. The bankrupt EU is ready to pay Assad money if he gives Al Qaeda autonomy in various parts of Syria.

We are certain that Al Qaeda’s autonomous regions will never try to overthrow the Damascus government. We are also certain that Saudi Arabia, the US, Turkey, and the EU will stop pouring weapons and cash into this Al Qaeda protectorate.

And the real win for the EU…no more migrants pouring into Europe. Mogherini is really onto something here. Its a real win-win for the entire region and continent of Europe (sarcasm folks).

Watching world events lately one cannot help but to wonder, whatever happened to the war in Afghanistan?

Are U.S. soldiers supposedly still exchanging fire with Al Qaeda as (supposed) payback for 9/11?

For a couple years I had been offering cash reward for anyone who can prove the war in Afghanistan to be a real “war” scenario; you know, the one with the video proof of the opposition actually firing back at our positions.

That’s right, for years I offered a cash reward for anyone who can prove that there is a real conventional war (like the Vietnam footage) going on in Afghanistan. Challengers needed only to show actual video footage of U.S. tank and artillery positions in place and firing on the enemy (Al Qaeda), then gather some concrete evidence (meaning video footage) of the Al Qaeda military resistance. What military resistance? The one that justifies the U.S. military’s long stay in Afghanistan.

To this day I’m not aware of any video evidence showing Al Qaeda’s tanks and artillery firing back at U.S. positions (i.e.proof of an actual war). The mainstream media has never produced evidence that would make a reasonable person logically deduce that there is an actual war going on in Afghanistan. Not video of U.S. military blowing up an building or a “target,” but an actual war with two participants firing on each other.

Even Fox News reported years ago that the U.S. was “helping” grow Opiumin Afghanistan, all the while no one has ever produced evidence of any actual war. Incredibly, despite years of evidence proving that there has never been any war (but instead an occupation) in Afghanistan, mainstream-media-watching Americans have blindly believed and accepted that somehow the world’s most powerful military (the U.S.) has been in an equally-matched war against the dangerous and powerful Al Qaeda military forces, thus rationalizing and justifying this long “war” and occupation in Afghanistan.

As the ridiculous ISIS script continues to play out in what I consider to be a psychological operation on Americans and the world, and as we now see ISIS tagged as the new military might to compete with the U.S. military, the question has to be asked:

Where is Al Qaeda? What is Al Qaeda doing?

We know that ISIS was originally named “Al Qaeda in Iraq”, does that mean that members of Al Qaeda made a deal with the U.S. to fly to Iraq, created an Iraqi movement then switch their names to ISIL or ISIS? If so, how many Al Qaeda members switched groups? Is there any difference at all or just the location? How about the war in Afghanistan – which members of Al Qaeda are still fighting there?? Where is Al Qaeda and how come they are no longer in the news? Theorigins of ISISare fully exposed to anyone who is awakened, but what should we say about the official status of Al Qaeda? Or should I say, what would the establishment (and its mainstream media) have us believe about the 2014 current and official status of Al Qaeda?

Is there room for logic and reason anymore in this crazy geo-political new world order scheme; or should we all just accept this craziness without asking simple questions? Notice I said simple questions not critical questions, because the questions we are asking are not trick questions or questions or forensics or science, they are simple straightforward questions.

Where is Al Qaeda now? Do they no longer exist? If so, then when did they cease to exist and why is the “war” in Afghanistan still going on?

As the recent ISIS psychological operation on humanity rolls along, we (humanity) have to stop to ask these simple questions because these simple questions are the very things that will continue to expose the globalist criminals.

Can anyone present a shred of evidence that proves that Al Qaeda is not ISIS?

Hey if ISIS acting alone, would it be possible for ISIS to attack Al Qaeda or vice versa?

How does Israel avoid having to deal with attacks from both of these groups?

Reason and Logic

As long as we (humanity) feel that there is something worth fighting for, we have an obligation to expose all this political theater, propaganda and monkey business being imposed on humanity. Sadly many Americans will never attempt to answer even one of these questions, and instead label these questions as nonsense, conspiracies, even anti-government propaganda. Sadly, too many Americans who are now deeply entrenched in the ISIS psychological operation won’t ever get beyond what CNN or Fox News and Sean Hannity tell them. Everything else are simply conspiracies. No thinking, no reasoning, no asking simple questions, no logic, no true journalism, no real reporting, nothing.

Digging and poking at the Al Qaeda psyop is one way to expose the ISIS psyop since it came first. Unfortunately, our government has control freaks who believe in imposing mass mind-control operations in order to corral the masses with fear and it is up to us to find creative and interesting ways to expose their lies and deceit.

So today I want to know what did Al Qaeda do yesterday, where are they now, and why are they no longer being mentioned as a threat by the Western media WHILE the “war” in Afghanistan continues year after year.

By the way, has anyone seen the video evidence of ISIS overcoming the Iraqi army? How about the recent battles claimed by mainstream media – has anyone seen actual evidence of ISIS firing U.S. tanks and artillery weapons? Where are these videos? And, by the way, who trained ISIS to fire our tanks and Howitzers? Remember that having the weapons is not enough; you must learn how to use the weapons as well. U.S military cannoneers train for almost two months to fire Howitzers. Who trained ISIS how to fire U.S. military weapons?

Alternatively we should be asking:

When will Americans as a whole have enough of this nonsense?

When will we pull together to turn justice on the globalists and their phony patsy terror groups that change names all the time and always end up with U.S. weapons?

When will humanity pull it together and see that, coincidentally, none of these engineered terror groups ever attack Israel yet they always seem to want to get their hands on U.S. civilians who are not part of their war?

There are no accounts of any direct full military battles against U.S. military, and even now that the globalists are scripting this recent military battle against ISIS in Syria (as they did with Al Qaeda and Taliban in Afghanistan) we are being fed stories and reports from mainstream media sources without and real evidence of a war going on.

Al Qaeda has supposedly challenged the U.S. military to the tune of a 13-year war (and still counting) while naive and dumbed-down Americans blindly accept these bizarre statistics while consumed by sports and entertainment. Now ISIS is supposedly withstandingair strikes with ease, yet we are not told how they are doing it. ISIS even has the ability to embarrass the U.S. by showing up to the battlefield with sufficient ammunition; all the while the U.S. runs out of bullets. Imagine that, remember we’re talking the worlds greatest military here.

The fact of the matter here is that many of us have personally had enough of the ISIS psychological operation and we’re reminded (literally by anAl Qaedacommander here) that Al Qaeda is (was?) no different.

The difference is that much more of humanity is awakened to the globalist plans and we are determined to fight back against these destructive psychological terror scripts imposed on us. Life is too precious to have to deal with “ISIS” or “Al Qaeda” or any Intelligence synthetic terror groups. We can’t afford to have a staged elimination of terrorism (Bin Laden death hoax) only to have a brand new terror organization conveniently funded and armed by the U.S., Israel and its Middle East buddies to wreak havoc on humanity while giving a pass to its creators.

I say let us roll with the ISIS operation like a good martial artist and use their ISIS psyop against them. Let’s all keep pushing to expose this ISIS agenda and hope for something to crack.

“This is a terrorist group and not a state. I do not recommend using the term Islamic State because it blurs the lines between Islam, Muslims and Islamists. The Arabs call it ‘Daesh’ and I will be calling them the ‘Daesh cutthroats’.” – Foreign Minister Laurent FabiusDaesh is also considered insulting, and the IS itself doesn’t like the name Daesh one bit. (so by calling them Daesh vs IS, we insult them).

The globalist agenda must crack, and it will crack. It is up to each and every one of us to see to it that the plan cracks. One way to help crack this plan is by sharing this message with someone, staying strong, keeping your mind clear, your eyes wide open and continue to view our current-day narratives in the context of history and known facts instead of the context of CIA-controlled mainstream media-guided emotion and propaganda.

Adam Gadahn, the “American Taliban,” the lisping, overweight bungler continually calling for the murder of Americans is really named Adam Perlman from a family highly influential in the Anti-Defamation League. The group distributing his threats, SITE Intelligence, contracted to the American government, is run by a former IDF member whose father was executed in Iraq as a Mossad terrorist. SITE Intelligence is the source of the Osama bin Laden tapes long proven to be, not only the wrong voice, but to resemble bin Laden so little as to have become a joke.

Gadahn came on the scene when tapes of Osama bin Laden claiming credit for 9/11 failed forensic examination. They were counterfeits. The CIA’s own version had bin Laden denying any involvement.

This was late 2001 and Americans hadn’t been told that the story about Tora Bora, the many stories about Tora Bora, warlords covering for bin Laden, American troops being pulled back at the last minute by presidential order or the Delta Force being betrayed, were all lies. Osama bin Laden was already dying from kidney failure.

This fake al-Qaeda terrorist, Yousef al-Khattab, turned out to be yet another impostor posing as an evil Muslim who wants to kill Jews. His real name is Joseph Cohen, and he is just another piece of evidence that al-Qaeda is a creation.

Pierre-Henri Bunel| Global Research Editor’s Note: This article originally published by Global Research in 2005 sheds light on the nature of Al Qaeda, an intelligence construct used by Washington to destabilize and destroy sovereign countries, while sustaining the illusion of an outside enemy, which threatens the security of the Western World and Israel.

Shortly before his untimely death, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that “Al Qaeda” is not really a terrorist group but a database of international mujaheddin and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis to funnel guerrillas, arms, and money into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Courtesy of World Affairs, a journal based in New Delhi, WMR can bring you an important excerpt from an Apr.-Jun. 2004 article by Pierre-Henry Bunel, a former agent for French military intelligence.

Editor’s Note:British politician, Robin Cook, took a stand against the Iraq invasion by resigning from his position. During his resignation speech, he bravely exposed the true motives for the war and revealed the status of Iraq’s weapons stockpile.

In 2004, Robin Cook joined The Guardian Newspaper. On Friday, July 8, 2005, he wrote a news article for the Guardian a day after the London Bombings (see here). Watch this short video and continue on with this article.

“I first heard about Al-Qaida while I was attending the Command and Staff course in Jordan. I was a French officer at that time and the French Armed Forces had close contacts and cooperation with Jordan . . .

“Two of my Jordanian colleagues were experts in computers. They were air defense officers. Using computer science slang, they introduced a series of jokes about students’ punishment.

“For example, when one of us was late at the bus stop to leave the Staff College, the two officers used to tell us: ‘You’ll be noted in ‘Q eidat il-Maaloomaat’ which meant ‘You’ll be logged in the information database.’ Meaning ‘You will receive a warning . . .’ If the case was more severe, they would used to talk about ‘Q eidat i-Taaleemaat.’ Meaning ‘the decision database.’ It meant ‘you will be punished.’ For the worst cases they used to speak of logging in ‘Al Qaida.’

“In the early 1980s the Islamic Bank for Development, which is located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, like the Permanent Secretariat of the Islamic Conference Organization, bought a new computerized system to cope with its accounting and communication requirements. At the time the system was more sophisticated than necessary for their actual needs.

“It was decided to use a part of the system’s memory to host the Islamic Conference’s database. It was possible for the countries attending to access the database by telephone: an Intranet, in modern language. The governments of the member-countries as well as some of their embassies in the world were connected to that network.

“[According to a Pakistani major] the database was divided into two parts, the information file where the participants in the meetings could pick up and send information they needed, and the decision file where the decisions made during the previous sessions were recorded and stored. In Arabic, the files were called, ‘Q eidat il-Maaloomaat’ and ‘Q eidat i-Taaleemaat.’ Those two files were kept in one file called in Arabic ‘Q eidat ilmu’ti’aat’ which is the exact translation of the English word database. But the Arabs commonly used the short word Al Qaida which is the Arabic word for “base.” The military air base of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is called ‘q eidat ‘riyadh al ‘askariya.’ Q eida means “a base” and “Al Qaida” means “the base.”

“In the mid-1980s, Al Qaida was a database located in computer and dedicated to the communications of the Islamic Conference’s secretariat.

“In the early 1990s, I was a military intelligence officer in the Headquarters of the French Rapid Action Force. Because of my skills in Arabic my job was also to translate a lot of faxes and letters seized or intercepted by our intelligence services . . . We often got intercepted material sent by Islamic networks operating from the UK or from Belgium.

“These documents contained directions sent to Islamic armed groups in Algeria or in France. The messages quoted the sources of statements to be exploited in the redaction of the tracts or leaflets, or to be introduced in video or tapes to be sent to the media. The most commonly quoted sources were the United Nations, the non-aligned countries, the UNHCR and . . . Al Qaida.

“Al Qaida remained the data base of the Islamic Conference. Not all member countries of the Islamic Conference are ‘rogue states’ and many Islamic groups could pick up information from the databases. It was but natural for Osama Bin Laden to be connected to this network. He is a member of an important family in the banking and business world.

“Because of the presence of ‘rogue states,’ it became easy for terrorist groups to use the email of the database. Hence, the email of Al Qaida was used, with some interface system, providing secrecy, for the families of the mujaheddin to keep links with their children undergoing training in Afghanistan, or in Libya or in the Beqaa valley, Lebanon. Or in action anywhere in the battlefields where the extremists sponsored by all the ‘rogue states’ used to fight. And the ‘rogue states’ included Saudi Arabia. When Osama bin Laden was an American agent in Afghanistan, the Al Qaida Intranet was a good communication system through coded or covert messages.

Meet “Al Qaeda”

“Al Qaida was neither a terrorist group nor Osama bin Laden’s personal property . . . The terrorist actions in Turkey in 2003 were carried out by Turks and the motives were local and not international, unified, or joint. These crimes put the Turkish government in a difficult position vis-a-vis the British and the Israelis. But the attacks certainly intended to ‘punish’ Prime Minister Erdogan for being a ‘toot tepid’ Islamic politician.

” . . . In the Third World the general opinion is that the countries using weapons of mass destruction for economic purposes in the service of imperialism are in fact ‘rogue states,” specially the US and other NATO countries.

” Some Islamic economic lobbies are conducting a war against the ‘liberal” economic lobbies. They use local terrorist groups claiming to act on behalf of Al Qaida. On the other hand, national armies invade independent countries under the aegis of the UN Security Council and carry out pre-emptive wars. And the real sponsors of these wars are not governments but the lobbies concealed behind them.

“The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive the ‘TV watcher’ to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US and the lobbyists for the US war on terrorism are only interested in making money.”

In yet another example of what happens to those who challenge the system, in December 2001, Maj. Pierre-Henri Bunel was convicted by a secret French military court of passing classified documents that identified potential NATO bombing targets in Serbia to a Serbian agent during the Kosovo war in 1998. Bunel’s case was transferred from a civilian court to keep the details of the case classified. Bunel’s character witnesses and psychologists notwithstanding, the system “got him” for telling the truth about Al Qaeda and who has actually been behind the terrorist attacks commonly blamed on that group.

It is noteworthy that that Yugoslav government, the government with whom Bunel was asserted by the French government to have shared information, claimed that Albanian and Bosnian guerrillas in the Balkans were being backed by elements of “Al Qaeda.” We now know that these guerrillas were being backed by money provided by the Bosnian Defense Fund, an entity established as a special fund at Bush-influenced Riggs Bank and directed by Richard Perle and Douglas Feith.

French officer Maj. Pierre-Henri Bunel, who knew the truth about “Al Qaeda” — Another target of the neo-cons.

This exclusive Grayzone investigative mini-doc by Dan Cohen exposes the cynical deceptions and faux humanitarianism behind the campaign to sell the dirty war on Syria.

It will demonstrate the lengths that the US and its allies have gone to develop new ploys to tug at Western heartstrings and convince even liberal minded skeptics of war that a US intervention was necessary — even if it meant empowering Al Qaeda’s largest franchise since 9/11 and its theocratic allies among the insurgency.

Big lies and little children have formed the heart of what is perhaps the most expensive, sophisticated, and shameless propaganda blitz ever conducted.

ISRAEL RESCUES AL-QAEDA TERRORISTS FROM SYRIA, TREATS THEM IN FIELD HOSPITALS AND THEN SENDS THEM BACK TO THE FRONT LINES

February 18, 2014: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) shaking hands with a wounded al-Qaeda/Syrian terrorist at an Israeli military field hospital at the occupied Golan Heights border with Syria. Credit: EPA

RonPaul Institute| While the US government continues to face — and vigorously deny — charges that it secretly helps ISIS and other extremists in Syria to keep alive Obama’s regime-change policy for Assad, Washington’s closest ally in the region makes little pretense that it is at war with al-Qaeda and other extremists.

In fact, Israel is openly coming to the rescue of al-Qaeda’s Jabhat al-Nusra just beyond the border of Israel-occupied Golan Heights.

Not only is Israel making no secret of its assistance to the same group “allegedly” responsible for the 9/11 attacks against the United States, Tel Aviv is inviting western media to “embed” with Israeli troops as they embark upon dangerous rescue missions into Syria. Yesterday’s Daily Mailran an articlecomplete with photos and “IDF Footage” of the Israeli army crossing into Syria to rescue members of al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria after they were wounded by Syrian government forces fighting back the al-Qaeda/ISIS-led insurgency.

This is not just a one-off emergency aid mission. According to the article, Israel has been running a three-year medical assistance program for al-Qaeda fighters in southern Syria. The article estimates that Israel has patched up at least 1,600 Islamist extremists and sent many back to battle the secular Syrian government. The missions have been undertaken at great danger to the Israeli soldiers involved and at significant expense for a small country: more than $13 million dollars spend thus far.

As for why Israel would undertake what would on the surface look like a suicide mission — propping up Islamist extremists who we are told are Israel’s mortal enemies — the Daily Mail reports that while Israel claims it is operating strictly out of humanitarian concerns, many believe Israel “has in fact struck a deadly ‘deal with the devil’ – offering support to the Sunni militants who fight the Syrian ruler Assad…”

It would not be the first time Israel has supported radical Islamists against secular groups in the Middle East. As Ron Paul pointed out years ago on the House Floor, “Hamas was encouraged and really started by Israel because they wanted Hamas to counter Yassir Arafat.”

What are the implications for Washington’s relations with Israel when its ally is openly coming to the aid of an organization that has attacked and killed so many Americans on US soil? With the publication of the Daily Mail article will there be calls on the Floor of Congress to sanction Israel? Will there be a cut-off of the billions of US taxpayer dollars sent yearly to Israel — and thus indirectly to help al-Qaeda?

Will there be at least a strongly worded letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requesting that he stop acting as al-Qaeda’s field hospital in southern Syria? Netanyahu told the US Congress this spring that when it comes to Islamist extremists, “the enemy of your enemy is your enemy.” Was he just joking?

Or is Washington OK with Israel getting Islamist extremists back into fighting shape? Is Washington not afraid that some of these patched-up fighters may seek US or allied targets once back on the Syrian battlefield? Or does Washington have some assurance that al-Qaeda will not target US assets or operations in Syria? And if so, how did that come about?

Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, then-President George W. Bushfamously laid out US policy: “Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.” Does that then mean that Israel is with the terrorists? Or is perhaps Israel still “with us” in propping up certain terrorists needed to implement the regime change policy in Syria? Are we then with Israel and the terrorists?

Much like Al Qaeda, the Islamic State (ISIS) is made-in-the-USA, an instrument of terror designed to divide and conquer the oil-rich Middle East and to counter Iran’s growing influence in the region.

The fact that the United States has a long and torrid history of backing terrorist groups will surprise only those who watch the news and ignore history.

The CIA first aligned itself with extremist Islam during the Cold War era. Back then, America saw the world in rather simple terms: on one side, the Soviet Union and Third World nationalism, which America regarded as a Soviet tool; on the other side, Western nations and militant political Islam, which America considered an ally in the struggle against the Soviet Union.

Global Research| The director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan, General William Odom recently remarked, “by any measure the U.S. has long used terrorism. In 1978-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism – in every version they produced, the lawyers said the U.S. would be in violation.”

During the 1970′s the CIA used the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as a barrier, both to thwart Soviet expansion and prevent the spread of Marxist ideology among the Arab masses. The United States also openly supported Sarekat Islam against Sukarno in Indonesia, and supported the Jamaat-e-Islami terror group against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in Pakistan. Last but certainly not least, there is Al Qaeda.

Lest we forget, the CIA gave birth to Osama Bin Laden and breastfed his organization during the 1980′s. Former British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, told the House of Commons that Al Qaeda was unquestionably a product of Western intelligence agencies. Mr. Cook explained that Al Qaeda, which literally means an abbreviation of “the database” in Arabic, was originally the computer database of the thousands of Islamist extremists, who were trained by the CIA and funded by the Saudis, in order to defeat the Russians in Afghanistan.

America’s relationship with Al Qaeda has always been a love-hate affair. Depending on whether a particular Al Qaeda terrorist group in a given region furthers American interests or not, the U.S. State Department either funds or aggressively targets that terrorist group. Even as American foreign policy makers claim to oppose Muslim extremism, they knowingly foment it as a weapon of foreign policy.

The Islamic State is its latest weapon that, much like Al Qaeda, is certainly backfiring. ISIS recently rose to international prominence after its thugs began beheading American journalists. Now the terrorist group controls an area the size of the United Kingdom.

In order to understand why the Islamic State has grown and flourished so quickly, one has to take a look at the organization’s American-backed roots. The 2003 American invasion and occupation of Iraq created the pre-conditions for radical Sunni groups, like ISIS, to take root. America, rather unwisely, destroyed Saddam Hussein’s secular state machinery and replaced it with a predominantly Shiite administration. The U.S. occupation caused vast unemployment in Sunni areas, by rejecting socialism and closing down factories in the naive hope that the magical hand of the free market would create jobs. Under the new U.S.-backed Shiite regime, working class Sunni’s lost hundreds of thousands of jobs. Unlike the white Afrikaners in South Africa, who were allowed to keep their wealth after regime change, upper class Sunni’s were systematically dispossessed of their assets and lost their political influence. Rather than promoting religious integration and unity, American policy in Iraq exacerbated sectarian divisions and created a fertile breading ground for Sunni discontent, from which Al Qaeda in Iraq took root.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) used to have a different name: Al Qaeda in Iraq. After 2010 the group rebranded and refocused its efforts on Syria.

There are essentially three wars being waged in Syria: one between the government and the rebels, another between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and yet another between America and Russia. It is this third, neo-Cold War battle that made U.S. foreign policy makers decide to take the risk of arming Islamist rebels in Syria, because Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, is a key Russian ally. Rather embarrassingly, many of these Syrian rebels have now turned out to be ISIS thugs, who are openly brandishing American-made M16 Assault rifles.

America’s Middle East policy revolves around oil and Israel.The invasion of Iraq has partially satisfied Washington’s thirst for oil, but ongoing air strikes in Syria and economic sanctions on Iran have everything to do with Israel. The goal is to deprive Israel’s neighboring enemies, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Palestine’s Hamas, of crucial Syrian and Iranian support.

ISIS is not merely an instrument of terror used by America to topple the Syrian government; it is also used to put pressure on Iran.

The last time Iran invaded another nation was in 1738. Since independence in 1776, the U.S. has been engaged in over 53 military invasions and expeditions. Despite what the Western media’s war cries would have you believe, Iran is clearly not the threat to regional security, Washington is. An Intelligence Report published in 2012, endorsed by all sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies, confirms that Iran ended its nuclear weapons program in 2003. Truth is, any Iranian nuclear ambition, real or imagined, is as a result of American hostility towards Iran, and not the other way around.

America is using ISIS in three ways: to attack its enemies in the Middle East, to serve as a pretext for U.S. military intervention abroad, and at home to foment a manufactured domestic threat, used to justify the unprecedented expansion of invasive domestic surveillance.

By rapidly increasing both government secrecy and surveillance, Mr. Obama’s government is increasing its power to watch its citizens, while diminishing its citizens’ power to watch their government. Terrorism is an excuse to justify mass surveillance, in preparation for mass revolt.

The so-called “War on Terror” should be seen for what it really is: a pretext for maintaining a dangerously oversized U.S. military. The two most powerful groups in the U.S. foreign policy establishment are the Israel lobby, which directs U.S. Middle East policy, and the Military-Industrial-Complex, which profits from the former group’s actions. Since George W. Bush declared the “War on Terror” in October 2001, it has cost the American taxpayer approximately 6.6 trillion dollars and thousands of fallen sons and daughters; but, the wars have also raked in billions of dollars for Washington’s military elite.

In fact, more than seventy American companies and individuals have won up to $27 billion in contracts for work in postwar Iraq and Afghanistan over the last three years, according to a recent study by the Center for Public Integrity. According to the study, nearly 75 per cent of these private companies had employees or board members, who either served in, or had close ties to, the executive branch of the Republican and Democratic administrations, members of Congress, or the highest levels of the military.

In 1997, a U.S. Department of Defense report stated, “the data show a strong correlation between U.S. involvement abroad and an increase in terrorist attacks against the U.S.” Truth is, the only way America can win the “War On Terror” is if it stops giving terrorists the motivation and the resources to attack America. Terrorism is the symptom; American imperialism in the Middle East is the cancer. Put simply, the War on Terror is terrorism; only, it is conducted on a much larger scale by people with jets and missiles.

Jerad Miller exploited to jumpstart rightwing extremist meme.

CNN, formerly under the control of the Army’s Fourth Psychological Operations Group, has jumped on the shooting in Las Vegas to kick start the rightwing extremist meme. The narrative has languished since the Department of Homeland Security backed off characterizing Americans who disagree with the establishment as domestic terrorists.

“The zealotry of the far, far right fringe… and Alex Jones is unbowed.”

“The attack in Vegas is far from the only incident of violence by the American far right,” writes Peter Bergen, billed as CNN’s national security analyst. “According to data collected by the New America Foundation, right-wing extremists have killed 37 people in 16 violent incidents, in the United States since the 9/11 attacks. That number is more than the 21 people killed by militants motivated by al-Qaeda’s ideology in the United States in the post-9/11 era.”

In addition, the CIA’s Ford Foundation, Citigroup, Carnegie, USAID, Time-Warner and a potpourri of globalist foundations support the organization. Its board of directors features the neocon Francis Fukuyama and the anti-Constitution globalist Fareed Zakaria.

First and foremost, CNN, in no uncertain terms, insists “rightwing extremism” is a threat more lethal than al-Qaeda, the foreign terror group created by the CIA and Pakistani intelligence and currently thriving thanks to Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

SPLC: Liberty movement “rhetoric” leads to murder of police officers.

Bergen does not provide a source for this claim, although, further along in his op-ed points to the usual suspect, the Southern Poverty Law Center. Following the SPLC narrative, he cites the shooting at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City and one at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin as examples of “rightwing” violence.

Bergen parades a melange of psychos – Frazier Glenn Cross, Wade Michael Page, Scott Roeder and three demented gunmen from the so-called Minutemen American Defense – as primary examples of the sort of ideologically-driven violence that portends a more serious threat to America than Osama bin Laden and his trained (by the U.S. military) alleged hijackers.

According to Bergen and his globalist handlers at the New American Foundation, the corporate media mistakenly concentrates on jihadist violence while downplaying violence committed by individuals who are portrayed as rightwing extremists.

“Despite the history of deadly violence by individuals motivated by political ideologies other than that of al Qaeda, it is jihadist violence that continues to dominate the news and the attention of policy makers. Some of this is quite understandable,” he writes and then references 9/11, the event conclusively blamed by the state on al-Qaeda, the terror group named after a database, despite a yawning lack of conclusive evidence.

A “disparity” of establishment news coverage based on the ideological agenda of the SPLC and its partner, the Department of Homeland Security, has undermined the federal stool pigeon program, “see something, say something,” according to Bergen and Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill.

“Moreover, killings like the ones of the two police officers in Las Vegas on Sunday demonstrate the need to move beyond the view that the only threat of terrorism or extremist violence comes from radicalized Muslims,” writes Bergen.

In fact, non-ideological violence – murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, etc. – poses a more serious threat to society than “rightwing extremism,” but delving into its root cause does not serve the ideological agenda of the New American Foundation, George Soros, the Ford Foundation, Citibank, et al.

Jerad Miller and his poor, unfortunate brainwashed young wife, despite their murderous rampage, are hardly reason enough to call for a recommencement of a Justice Department task force on domestic terrorism, a task force “focused on anti-government plots and racial violence.” The conflation of “anti-government” and “racial,” of course, is not coincidental – it is the cardinal tenet of the Obama administration and serves to discredit and demonize all who criticize the establishment.

Eric Holder’s refurbished investigation into “rightwing extremism,” as exemplified by the politics of Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin (according to a Missouri Information Analysis Center report compiled with the assistance of the DHS), will focus on the liberty movement and strive to connect it to white supremacy.

Bergen: Rightwingers kill people.

The momentary victory realized at the Bundy ranch in Nevada – heavily armed BLM agents backing down, wary of another Waco PR disaster – will not be allowed to stand unchallenged. The establishment will soon redouble its effort to neutralize any effective political opposition. An integral part of this effort is a concerted propaganda campaign designed to demonize and criminalize opponents. That’s where Peter Bergen and the New America Foundation propaganda machine come into play.

A Sheep No More is no longer plugged into the Matrix like the many sheep who are still programmed to believe that they have correct information provided by a varied and “independent media.” In fact the media is owned by 5 or 6 mega-media companies run by corporate advertising executives and Washington.
